"Canadian Hockey Team Faces Sexual Assault Investigation Reopening"
Canadian police have apologized to a woman for a six-year delay in investigating an alleged sexual assault by five professional ice hockey players, including NHL's Carter Hart and others. The case, stemming from a 2018 incident, was initially closed due to "insufficient grounds" but reopened in 2022. The accused have not entered a plea, and police have expressed confidence in the new evidence leading to the charges. This case is part of a broader scandal involving Hockey Canada's handling of sexual misconduct claims, including secret payments and lack of transparency.
